*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA - G1 General

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.

Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)

this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.

Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.

I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.

I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.

Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

dude! i totally forgot, its gotta be metamorph. because i remember my market worked and all, then right before going to bed i messed with a bunch of metamorph mods(not themes) and then today i try the market and boom doesnt work..
EDIT:
Screw it. I just uninstalled it.

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

Purchasing apps on the market outside of "authorized" areas

strazzere said:
Just a heads up that later on tomorrow an application will be released to help people outside of "authorized" areas purchase applications for the G1 on the market. More information can be found at http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=249 or the italian version at http://www.androidiani.com/applicazioni/applicazioni-a-pagamento-sul-market-da-ora-si-puo-2169.
Basically it ended up being easier than we originally thought, though Andrea threw together an application to make it easier for people to do.
The program should be released early tomorrow with the source and an explanation of how it works and what not.
Enjoy! Ciao!

Bye Andrea
bump!
i've installed the app and its working!!
but i don't have a billing address in US...
its now working!!
market apps available on ADP1.5 outside US
the app can be found here, look for the link "QUI"
http://www.androidiani.com/applicaz...he-in-italia-con-marketenabler-2177#more-2177
you might need to make a google checkout account from your computer if you are not in one of the market enabled countries... use the same gmail account
I wonder what Google thinks of this...
It works perfect, to bad google only works with creditcards :S ?
winbet this app enable only the purchasing process. We did not made nothing bad...

got the app- pity for some reason superuser doesnt want to play with it- funny cos SU plys ok with everything else....eg. advanced task manager etc.... am running 1.5 ADPHr1
is superuser not playing nice with it?
i use JF 1.5, i have to say allow a million times, but it works!
Amazing job!
Well I just want to thank the team that made this possible, it works just perfect on my JF 1.5 ADP, bought a few apps already!!!
Cheers
I'm pleased that you are happy of our work
Yes, thanks very much Andrea and Tim!
my SU is working ok with it now- for some reason it was hanging up- so i opened SU before opening this app..... i now have paid apps in Australia!!
Any requirements to install this program?
I cant seem to install it, keep getting " the install is unsuccessful" error.
Works GREAT!
It really works! Thank you so much. I felt disappointed when I learned google was not allowing ADP1 users to even see the non-free applications. Now I can see everything. I haven't tried to buy anything yet. I'm in Spain and we are not supposed to have paid applications, so I don't want to rise any suspicions.
Edit 1:
If you want to see the apps, you have to run the enabler and then (immediately after) go to the market. Or, to put it in a different way, it only allows this access for a (very) limited amount of time.
Edit 2:
I was finally able to see a free but protected app (NBA Game Time) from my ADP1, and it downloaded and installed successfully, but it doesn't run at all (force closes every time). If it's of any help, I'm running JF 1.5 on an ADP1.
I'm using JF 1.5ADP with no further mods (apps2sd etc.) and the SU request is freezing, tried a reboot but no joy, any ideas?
### Solved ###
This is a JF 1.5 issue, USB debugging must be enabled for the SU Whitelist to work (reboot not necessary).

I also have the JF 1.5ADP, but I do have the apps on the SD (I did it manually following instructions on JF's web). But it did asked me for root access like a million times (ok, a little exaggeration here, but it was like 6 or 7 times). And it takes a while (like a minute or so).

Switching between the different markets would be rather easy, you just need someone from that area to tell you what the numerical operator number and the operator name is.
I'll be posting soon how to do this process without the program install for people having trouble using market-enabler

Thanks, this is awesome! One thing I've noticed though, when viewing by popularity in uk it only shows free apps - paid aren't showing. They show normally in 'date added view though'.

mr update sucks!!

i wished i hadent updated now. It removed a bunch of apps for the market. even ones i have already paid for. alot of good ones at that. i read its about copy right stuff. this is crazy and i may go back to previous version, was having no issues and see no benefit to the new update. please tell me if anyone knows if this is temporary thing or how its going to be.
hmm, I used google checkout to buy my apps and my paid ones steill read paid of the market

Not you buddy. The other guy that said he wasn't having any problems. That's why I quoted him.
I have the same issue. I've been flashing back the stock rom installing my purchased software then updating , then rooting the phone. but once I reboot that last time. a couple disappear for good.
When I first got my Hero a few weeks ago wanted to download the imeem app because I'd heard it was really good. No matter what I did I couldn't find it in the Market. This is before the MR update. So I don't think your problem is the MR update itself but that Google removed some apps from the Market and you simply didn't notice it until after the update.
what is the benefit of the update. i have seen none. i may goto the fresh rom with no mr update. i also heard of people having problems with bluetooth streaming after update. so as far as i can see the mr update is more trouble that its worth. am i correct..

From what I've heard the MR update bluetooth issue is a problem with the custom roms. Folks who've updated non-rooted devices are working fine.
I'll be able to confirm this is a little. Just wiped back to 1.29, ran the MR update and re-rooted.
As for the MR being more trouble than it's worth...It's supposed to fix a memory leak and SMS battery drain issue. Those are pretty big. I'll update once I know more re BT audio streaming.
well i have to find a place to get my apps back. i bet its missing half of mine i paid for and atleast that many that i didnt. that is a big issue to me more than issues i was having before.
I just found this:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/134718#134718
Looks like we'll be waiting for a fix to fix our broken fix!
its not just paid apps. ebuddy isnt onthere and its free. imusic is gone. and some otheres.
Here is what you have to do to get them back.
You have to go back to Sprints Original Rom before the update. It will un-root the phone, but big deal we love messing with this stuff anyway. After you are back to the first software version, go to the market and download and install all your apps paid or free. You can then do one of two things. You can either root the phone now and use Root Explorer to save your paid for apps on your SD card then start the process over, or you can then upgrade to the MR. Once I did that my apps were still in the market, but I went the long route just in case. Now you can root the phone and do a nandroid Backup which should have all your paid apps there in case they go away again. I have mine safe on my SD card now so if they do go away I can install them anyway.

UPDATE: Bluetooth streaming is working on stock Sprint rom with MR update. Apps are missing for the App Store though.
...and I'm not sure Sprint is to blame for this. Seems that the Eris is also not showing paid apps.

It suggests it's a copy protection issue.

Market missing apps after Froyo??

Some of the apps I had before the upgrade are not in there. I did the settings/apps/market, clear data/cache. They still don't appear. Could it be that app is not supported on 2.2?
For instance...
Paypal
Redbox (I searched redboxer to find in 2.1)
File Cover (for the lite version)

Those are copy-protected files and virtually every time we get an update, it takes about a week for them to come back. Google has to add our new version number to the Market database before copy protected apps come back. Hopefully, Sprint or HTC is already on top of this and by the time the update is officially OTA, Google will have it up and running. Until then, you'll just have to live with the other apps that aren't affected. Good news is, Google is moving away from copy-protection and is going to offer a licensing service instead, which should fix this issue.
Thanks for replying and explaining. Makes sense and I can wait.

Yeah no problem. I have ten apps and about half are paid that aren't showing up. I'm very anxious to get this fixed. Everything else in Froyo is amazing, so once this gets fixed, I'll be very happy!

Google Earth: 2.1 ROMS (Syndicate/Epic Experience/Baked Snack, etc)

Hi,
I'm at the end of my patience here. I've had all 3 of these roms installed, and they all work great, except that google earth NEVER shows up in the market. I found a google_earth.apk, and Installed it from ES File Manager, and it works except when I try to clear the cache, or change any of the layers. And on the first attempt it crashes but 2nd or more, it will work if no settings are changed. I've already tried to fix permissions in clockwork but to no avail. Any suggestions?
From what I've read by searching Google, I think Google actually removed this from the market for some reason.
EDIT: Either that or they've changed it to 2.2 and above only. Haven't used 2.2 yet so I'm not sure if its there or not.
well then I guess I should be happy with what works??? lol! But if anyone wants the file, here it is. See what you can do with it.

I'm on the 2.2 Beta and its in the market for me. so if you really can't locate it in the market then i would assume you are right in that its only for froyo now. in which case you can probably install an earlier version of google earth and run it without any problems. i'lll see if i can find one in one of my old backups somewhere if you would like.
I would really appreciate that!

I doubt that would work, since you have to connect to google servers to run the program and they force you to use the most current version.
Worst case scenario you will get it when the official 2.2 is out, won't be long.
randomly now it works without any problems. strange.
Probably put it 2.2 only for the size. I still have ir installed on 2.1 and it works fine, I can pull the apk later and pay it If anyone wants it.

New Market on N1 2.2.1?

Hey guys
How does a market update work?
I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?
my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM
Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?
It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.

Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?
Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\
Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).

They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now.
Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.
Reporting back: Still doesn't work.
This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>

That's all you're supposed to have.
ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps
Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...
Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.
Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).
